A sky train has surveyed a simple random sample of air travelers to find out whether they would be interested in paying a higher fare in order to have access to wifi during their travel. Of the 100 travelers surveyed, 40 said wifi access would be worth a slight extra cost. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of sky train travelers who are in favor of the wifi idea
A farmer wants to test the effectiveness of a pest control method in allowing strawberry blooms to yield marketable strawberries. Of a random sample of 100 blooms, 77 yield marketable strawberries. Is this evidence that two thirds or more of all blooms grown with this pest control method end up as marketable strawberries? calculate the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of blooms that yield marketable strawberries?
A study of 420,008 cell phone users found that 137 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0338% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a) Use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. b) Does the method appear to be effective?
An airline has surveyed a simple random sample of air travelers to find out whether they would be interested in paying a higher fare in order to have access to e-mail during their flight. Of the 400 travelers surveyed, 80 said e-mail access would be worth a slight extra cost.Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of air travelers who are in favor of the airline’s e-mail idea.
A study of 420063 cell phone users found that 134 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0434 for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 90%confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. _%<p<_% b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not?
A random sample of 240 adults over the age of 40 found that 144 would use an online dating service. Another random sample of 234 adults age 40 and under showed that 131 would use an online dating service. Assuming all conditions are met, which of the following is the standard error for a 90 percent confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population proportions of adults within each age group who would use an online dating service?
An auditor of the USPS wants to examine its special two day mail handling to determine the proportion of parcels that actually arrive within the promised two day period. A randomly selected sample of 1600 such parcels is found to contain 1250 that were delivered on time. The USPS claims that more than 75% of parcels are delivered on time. Does a 95% confidence interval support this claim?
Calculate the corresponding confidence intervaland describe the relationship between the hypothesis test and the confidenceinterval for each problem. An auditor claims that 10% of invoices for a company areinaccurate. To test this claim, a random sample of 200 invoices ischecked and 24 are found to be inaccurate. Test at 1% significancelevel whether the auditor's claim can be supported by the sampleevidence
A consulting firm wants to study communication deficiencies in the health care industry. A random sample of 77 health care clinicians reveals the following: Time wasted in a day due to outdated communications technologies: X=54 minutes, S=9 minutes. Fifty-eight health care clinicians cite inefficiency of pagers as the reason for the wasted time. 1. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean time wasted in a day due to outdated communication technologies. 2. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean time wasted in a day due to inefficiency of pagers. 3. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population mean time wasted in a day due to inefficiency of pagers.
The article for helmet impact assessment reports that when each soccer helmet in a random sample of 37 suspension-type helmets was subjected to an impact test, 24 showed damage. Let p be the proportion of all such helmets that would show damage when tested in the prescribed manner.a) Calculate a 99% confidence interval for p.b) What sample size would be required for the 1-sided width of a 99% confidence interval to be at most 0.05, regardless of Pˆ ?

A study of 420,053 cell phone users found that 130 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0325%for those not using cell phones. a. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. ANSWER = 00.027%< p < 0.035% ****QUESTION**** b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not? A. Yes, because 0.0325% is included in the confidence interval. B. No, because 0.0325% is not included in the confidence interval. C.Yes, because 0.0325% is not included in the confidence interval. D. No, because 0.0325% is included in the confidence interval.
